' Application filed February 1 all whom, it may con-067%.

Be it known that I, ANTON ZVORIAS, a citi-.

zen of Russia, residing at New York, county of New York and have invented certain new provenients in a Vegetable Cutter the following is a in the State of New York,

and useful Imof which specification.

The present invention relatesto a vegetable cutter and has for its principal object to provide a device of this naturepossessed of an extremely simple and eiiicient structure, one which is tion, inexpensive to rable, easy to clean fairly reliable in operaconstruct, strong, du-

, not liable to readily get out of order, adjustable, and otherwise well adapted for the purpose for signed.

With the above jects in view as wi tion proceeds, the

which it is deand numerous other 0bll appear as'the descripinvention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described,

and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 paratus embodying tion,

the cover removed,

is a top plan view of the apthe features of my invenis a top plan view thereof with and Figure 3 is a vertical section therethrough taken substantially ure 1.

Referring to the on the line 33 of Figd swing in detail'it will be seen that 1 designates a cylindrical casing open at its end. diametrically acros lindrical casing 1 cover plates 3. A

A bridge strip 2 extends s one open end of the cyand has hinged thereto guide m mber 4 extends through one of the cover plates 3 and has its upper end flared to'forin a feedlng hopper A support 6 radiates inwardly from the side wall of the cylindrical-casing 1 teri'ninating at the axis thereof. A spindle 7 is journaled in the 6 axially with the casing 1 and eled gear 8.

ing 1. At the outer end of'this shaft 10 there is disposed an operating crank wheel 11, and at the inner end thereof there is dis posed a beveled gear 12 meshing with beveled gear 8. spindle 7 having radially dis Mounted blades or knives'15 posed slots 14 former! above these slots are ad ustable by members 16so as to extend at desired angles in relation to the upper surface of. the

disc 13. c

When the crank wheel 11 is rotated, the shaft 10 is rotated for actuation of beveled gear 12-. This beveled gear 12 rotates the bevel gear 8, thereby rotating the spindle 7 and disc '13 so that the knives pass by the lower end of the guide 1 and out the fruitwhich projects slightly therebelow,

thereby delivering the slices of the fruit Below the support 6 on the; there is mounted a rotary disc 13 through the slots let to the receptacle over which the cylindrical casing posed.

It will be apparen have devised a very 1 may be distfroin the above that I siinple vegetable cutter which is easy to manipulate, one which can be readily cleaned and which will be'thoroughly efficient in operation.

ratus may be placed low cost and will of invention and advantages thereof nierated as desirable the details of constr 'Thisappaon the market at a very attain all the features enuin the statement of the invention and the above description. It is further apparent that numerous changes in uction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the in vention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages. Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is:

A vegetable cutter inclu-cling nation, a casing, a cutting mechanism a cover hinged to the casing, and a guide extending through the cover and lined 9 casing,

in t 1e thereto so as to lead to the cutting mecha nism and closely approach thereto when the cover. is in closed position, said guide being swingable out ofithe casing to an out of the way position when the cover is opened.

eof I affix my signature.
